What: The ostrich and camel races are back Saturday at Ellis Park. One of the meet’s most
popular events, jockeys race ostriches and camels through the stretch of the track. Great video and photo opportunities – this event has never laid an egg!
When: Ostrich race is after the fifth race (post time: 2:43 p.m. Central). Camel race is after the seventh race (post time: 4:00). Note: This will delay the sixth race (3:30) and eighth (4:50) from their normal post times.
If you want photos and can’t make it, rest assured that Coady Photography will be all over it and I will be sending out photos from both races. If you aren’t on our regular email list, or if there is someone else at your station/paper/website who needs the photos, just have them email me at tracksidejennie@gmail.com.

If you want to take pictures or video and do not currently have an Ellis media credential, please check in at the general offices near the main entrance. This is to make sure we know you’re here and get the access you need. If I’m not in the office, they’ll give you my phone number. Call me and I’ll be right there.
